I would suggest checking out cirr.org, as well as interviewing former students.

There are some that are run by accredited brick-and-mortar colleges. I don't specifically know how good they are, but that's where I would start looking.

They're almost all cases of the university lending its name and occasionally space to companies that provide the curriculum, instructors and examination. Not a lot different from any other bootcamp except there's less incentive to have quality anything because people trust the university brandname.

why do you feel you need a bootcamp? open a text editor and start programing

I've actually been off and on programming for a few years and have done my tour in tutorial hell on Udemy. Just thought maybe a bootcamp would give me experience programming with a team like you would at a job. I also have a unique opportunity next year where I will have 6 months off paid, which I plan to spend programming full time. Thought a bootcamp may be a good way to spend that time.

You might wanna check c0d3[0] or fullstackopen[1], they are both free and self paced, c0d3 is opensource and has a nice small community and some mentors/students/engineers always ready to help on Discord. Once you finish the curriculum, you get in engineering team and start contributing back and gain some real world experience.

Huh is C0D3 brand new? I've been going through full stack open but this is the first time I'm hearing about the other one.

Thanks, I will check those out. Much appreciated!

It is not a boot camp but you might want to checkout chingu.io to get some experience
